The three main rings of Saturn, the outer A ring, the Cassini Division, the B ring, and the very faint C ring all appear to be visible in this image. The shadow of the inside front edge of the rings appears as a thin dark line along the planet’s “surface.” The planet’s disk is listed as 18 arcseconds across at this time (info from the RASC Observer’s Handbook). The largest moon in the solar system, Titan, is visible to the upper-left of the planet. Seeing conditions this evening were excellent.
